Neutra

Hello and welcome Blue Steel and Mynx Glad to have you guys with us on the forums. You know as Blue Steel, you're like, a legend among everyone. There's even a joke about your uberness during the Lady Grey TF. Plus, there's all the rumors >.>

I heard Blue Steel wasn't placed in Kings Row, Kings Row was built around where Blue Steel is standing.

I love that you actually didn't forget redside.

Damn, is that your voice?

What a great job!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, that voice was really good. Really solid commercial. I saw an instance of the targetting reticle, but aside from that it was perfect.

The split screen effects you used were really cool Dawthm. Nice job

Here is my City of Villains commercial:

Hope you Enjoy it!

[/ QUOTE ]

DUDE, that was SO good, hahahahaha. I was laughing so much. Great job. I could def see that as being a real commercial.

Oh man, imma be broke I can't wait for this to go Live later.

Cause once you figure out how to make every power's color tintable so you can have green energy blasts but black energy fists, it will be accepted just like weapon customization was, but then "those" people will show up. What about the people who want to shoot fireballs out of their eyes? Or the guy who wants to have fly look like he's skating around on ice? Or the girl who wants a swordfish katana that uses fencing animations?

Point is, it will never be enough, and it will continue to snowball into more and more work, one step at a time, eating up more time and resources that could have been used on new content you could have cooked up twice the amount of when you were making sure your green laser eyes were green when they hit AND fired.

[/ QUOTE ]

The same could be argued about content, though. All the content in the world would still never be enough for the playerbase. What about the heroes who want to fight Midas? Or the villains that want to somehow invade Steel Canyon? Or what about the people who want personal housing or a new end game raid? There will also always be "those" people who will burn through the new content and start griping for more.

I'm not saying I don't want new content, I love new content. I just think that PC wouldn't be a total waste of time. It wouldn't be going in as "content". It'd be more of a new, defining feature of the game just like the current Costume Creator or ability to Fly around the world and fight in midair is. I think something that would help make the game even more unique and make a player's experience even more customizable would be worth as much as content in the long run. Besides, there's a new superhero MMO coming out later, we're going to need all the cool features we can get

Good lord BABs, how long did that take you to write Thanks for taking the time to do it. It's very clear and after reading through it I can understand pretty much everything you talked about. Parts of it sounded like some nightmare programming final, which in turn made me go "@.@"

I feel for you guys in wanting to do it, but being unable to. However, I admire that you and the rest of the team continue to uphold your high standards of quality and thoroughness. I know people wouldn't like shooting their brand new purple fireball at an enemy and seeing orange fire burst out after it hit the enemy, or a limited selection of colors or some other half-way type system.

It'd be awesome if, with the future manpower, you guys could set aside a small team to work on at least Step 3 so that that can be set up for whenever full customization starts getting worked on and/or for future powersets that are designed to be customizable

Haha, yeah, I could imagine the looks:

"Alright guys, if you wanna move your char across the screen, calculate this Translation matrix, Rotation matrix. Here's the World Matrix. Now remember if you're going to do an Arbitrary Axis Rotation, don't forget the 2nd Skew matrix is squared. Now for the camera to move multiply these two Quaternions (a1a2 - V1V1, a2V1 + a1V2 + V1xV2) and you should be good to go. So now that you've moved one step and shifted the camera..."

O.O

2:03 seems to be a shot of me smashing a few people >_>

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, you're in there a few times. I had planned to send this elaborate PM to you listing all of the times so that I could redeem myself for only showing you in my last video for like, 1 sec Buuut I got lazy XD So now you know!

[ QUOTE ]
Actaully, Castle fired the early nuke. Citadel blasted some villain in the back then shot off an AoE that certainly hurt (his first target died before our powers were even turned on) but it was Castle's boom that cleared the field.

Some villain brought a Warburg toxic nuke on the villain side for the second round. I didn't notice one in the first round but I could have missed it easily enough.

[/ QUOTE ]

Heh, yeah, the first round was madness. And I thought that fire explosion was a Bonfire for some reason >.<

And you know, I bet Castle and Pohsyb were just giggling watching everyone herd up together in one, massive ball, trigger finger at the ready for whenever Recluse showed up

Adding in a few more to my list:

Valentine's Event 2008
Halloween Event 2007
Kronos Titan Battle

Thanks!

Alright, I know it's unbelievably late, but I've been so busy with school that I barely got a chance to stay up all night the other night to finish the video I was working on >.<

Valentine's Event 2008

Highlights
<ul type="square">[*] 0:53 - That giant explosion was caused by Citadel, aka, Pohsyb. Yeah, that's right. He's the one that took out like 1/2 of the villains near the beginning, so everyone glare at him [*] 0:56 - Recluse goes flying off the stage...literally. I'm still trying to figure out what in the world hit him to make him fly off like that. I dunno if it was Posi's blast or if someone threw a TK on him or what. Either way, it was hilarious.[*] 1:12 - I wanna say that's Zloth, Castle, Pohsyb, BillZ and someone else all beating up on -ONE- person.[*] 1:15 - Pretty sure that was a Warburg nuke. Either that or Positron has some ridiculous secret nuke power.[*] 1:25 - Recluse with super bunny hopping action.[*] 1:32 - Poor War Witch is held and it looks like she takes a Psi nuke at point blank &gt;.&lt; [*] 1:38 - Scirroco and his broken [censored] lightning blast sent almost everyone flying.[*] 1:41 - Positron is held AND stunned [*] 2:02 - Lighthouse and his PvP survival skills.[*] 2:04 - Ex lounges around with Recluse and enjoys some tea.[/list]Number of Times Synapse was KB'ed or KD'ed: A lot.

It was such a fun event. There were some other funny moments that are missing (like BABs KB'ing someone across the pool) but I didn't want to make it too long. Thanks again to the Devs for hosting it and to everyone that came out for it.

Great video DR I liked the transformation scene a lot.

Haha, that was cool, great job. I had always pictured there being a "Brass March" type zone event at some point that would look kinda like that. Great music btw.

That was [censored] amazing, holy crap. Seriously, 5 stars for that.

Hey, I'm Neutra and I use Zloth's Demo Launcher, FRAPS, Sony Vegas 7.0, Virtual Dub and DivX. I've been making trailer type videos lately, but I have some side projects in the works that are more story oriented.

I love the demo editing potential that our game has and plan to make a software program later on (in Windows Programming I or something) that will let a user enter in the coordinates for both CAM and NPC movement as well as have some drop down menus for Models, Maps, FX and MOVs. You'll still have to plan out exactly what you want and divide it up into chunks/scenes and just enter the chunks/scenes into the software and it will spit out the code for it. Easy to say, not too hard to code, but it will take time, which I don't have a terrible lot of right now

I'm def going to be coming into this section of the forums a lot later on to see what everyone is working on. We have a lot of awesome video makers. Take care all!

Thanks so much, I appreciate the post I'm in class until 1 AM tonight, and I just found this forum, so I haven't been able to chime in everything I've been meaning to. I'm really excited and happy that this section was made.

I have plans to make some fancy Demo Creation software later on for one of my Programming class projects, so I'll post more information on it in here later on.

Thank you so much for this Ex. It's great that there's an official place for all of us movie guys to hangout and post stuff in

I believe when they mention the manager's reception that includes free adult beverages

SO YOU DIDN'T MENTION THAT BEFORE!!!

It's cool. We just need to figure out a way to get Brian to say the magic words "Open Bar" at some point in the night. It doesn't have to be together, we can always record him saying each word, edit it and then play it over the intercom system.

Robo, distract the girl working the speaker system. Pants, you come up with some on the spot bs Q&amp;A thing. I'll get his attention. Kitten can bring the tape recorder. Someone else bring a laptop to splice the .wav file!

Alright, just finished booking my room. Got a King as well. Arriving the 30th, checking out the 2nd. Funny thing was, since the cool rate applied for the first night only, I had to reserve two rooms, one for 31-1 and one for 1-2. The guy felt a little crazy about it, so he gave me some rate that was $89 for the second night. All in all, good deal. Now, onto the formalities...

*makes a note to go out and buy a bottle of Jaegermeister this weekend and start chilling it*

Can't wait to meet all of you &gt;D

We were very disheartened that we couldn't get a Saturday venue, but going into the holiday season with all sorts of contenders for party locations we chose our second most favorable window.

I am mostly bummed because we had slated a visit from The Defuser! He has promised me that he will catch up with us at another event though, so I know we haven't seen the last of him.

Ex

[/ QUOTE ]

Defuser! Aww, would have been fun to get to hang with him again. He's a great guy.

Guess you better get your bootie into the Marriott then Neutra! Not only is it where I and Teh Boyfriend™ and I are staying, but Ex is staying there too!

[/ QUOTE ]

Well damn, Marriott it is then, haha. Thanks for helping me narrow that choice down XD

I'm booking my flight later this afternoon into San Jose. I'll try and book my hotel either tonight or this weekend.

Are we going to all try and stay at the same hotel if we're coming in from out of town? I ask because, you know, After Party and all that....and don't give me that look Manoa! You already know how I roll

(Stumbling from one room to another &gt; Stumbling from one hotel to another)

P.S. Ex can party all night, so prep yourselves.
P.S.S. I heard Jay can too

One more suggestion from me, and anyone who plays Counter-Strike: Source will see it's brilliance. In SG matches, when you observe what are you really looking for? To the average person they see fire being thrown but it looks very complicated as a lot of things are going on. My suggestion would simply remove all observers, and instead you are in looking at what exactly the person in the match see's. Let me explain, I'm Player A fighting Player B. Someone joins the match as an observer and immediatly see's my UI, my Power Trays, HP, and Inspirations. With a click of a button, they would switch to Player B's UI, Power Trays, HP, and Inspirations.

This would be very beneficial because then that observer, who may not know very much about PvP, could see what the basic movements are and how to play. Also, in the PvP SG Ladder, this could be shown to see who is using illegal inspiratiosn or to just get a better view of the match.

[/ QUOTE ]great idea, +12 internets for you, although it sounds as if the programming for that would be huge

[/ QUOTE ]

Indeed, it's a great idea and I know what he's talking about. Heck, it wouldn't have to show the person's UI, so long as you can see what they're seeing based on how they're zoomed out and whatnot. As if the watcher was the one controlling the character. It would def be a cool feature.

I do however have to hope that NCsoft doesn't decide that they need to make major changes to CoH - its a good game *now* - it can be better yes; but I fear the possibility of "WoWitization".


[/ QUOTE ]


Since they bought the game and are keeping the Dev team of a successful game, I can't imagine why they'd want to put their noses into the development and make too many changes. If they're smart, they'll simpley let the Dev team do what they do so well, only with more money, more people, and more support.

[/ QUOTE ]LOL yeah, I'm sure that was their motavation for buying out Cryptic. I'm pretty sure you can bet on the fact that NCsoft has an idea on how they are going to make COX "better." And with Ncsoft and the announcement that everyone is going to have hero/villian it's a sfe bet that much their vision is going to be based on PVP.


[/ QUOTE ]

I hope at least part of it goes to PvP. The game has a lot of potential for PvP. It's probably one of, if not the, fastest PvP in an MMO.
